This message was spray painted on the Jefferson Davis Monument in Brownsville, Texas. The City Commission was slow to take action, so residents took matters into their own hands. We agree with the message but don't condone vandalism: http://www.brownsvilleherald.com/premium/article_db0f4fd4-a58a-11e7-b702-bfe89fc2d667.html A few days earlier, a City Commissioner was secretly recorded using the "N" word and other slurs: http://netargv.com/home/2017/09/22/said-viral-leaked-audio-brownsville-commissioner-de-leon/ Whether it was the petition, racial slur by the city official, or vandalism, the Confederate memorial has once again come into the spotlight. The matter has been added to the agenda of the next city commission meeting. It will take place this Tuesday at 6:00 PM. We would like to invite you to speak during Public Comment.
